Well today I yanked the motor out of my donor vehicle. 454, says Hi PER Pass on the back of the block...cool.
Here's the dumb thing I did though. The donor vehicle has been sitting all winter, I turned it over a few times and let it run for a few minutes and all seemed good.
Well today I had to move the vehicle to get it in position to rob the jewels. I only had it running for a few minutes but temp gauge went psycho high. Didn't think too much of it, until I bothered to think that there might not be fluid in the radiator...possible leak.
Looking under the motor I seen one of my freeze plugs blew out over the winter....
We got the motor yanked, I drained the oil and didn't see any water or A.F.
vehicle only ran for MAYBE 3-4 minutes...no more. I know, I know...only way to know for sure is to get it magnafuxed. But what are the real odds that I smoked something?
